Dear Collective Wisdom,
I am hoping to gain
insights from other libraries about the policies and/or approaches you
take to collection development decisions when receiving large donations
of books.
We are a small undergraduate library that has
managed to develop a somewhat unique collection of art books over the
years because of a sizable donation in this area. We recently received
another large donation that was given in conjunction with an art gift to
the campus museum. While it is fantastic to be receiving such a great
ready-made collection of research materials to support this art, we
would also like to be thoughtful about what we ultimately add to the
library because of our size and focus as an undergraduate institution.
If
anyone has gone through a similar decision-making process and would be
willing to share your experiences or any policies you have, I would be
most grateful.
Thanks you,
Jessica Hronchek
